GK: Just when you think you have everything under control, you get a call from your boss saying, Why don't you take a few days off, we're reorganizing your division, don't worry about a thing, and by the way, what are all these e-mails from someone named Boopsie? And your doctor calls and says maybe you should come in for those tests ---- in fact, how about you come in today? And then your tax accountant calls and says, I made a little mistake in my calculations and it looks like you owe the government some money. In fact, about $18,000. And it was due last October. I'm getting you a lawyer. But if the police should come to your door, go with them. We'll meet you at the jail. And then your daughter calls and says she's fallen in love with a musician. He's going to move into her apartment and she's going to sell her car so she can buy him a guitar.

Wouldn't this be a good time for a piece of Pflaumen Cake? Yes, nothing gets the taste of defeat and humiliation out of your mouth like Beebopareebop Pflaumen Cake.
